Dried fruits have always held a special status in every household irrespective of the seasons or occasions. In earlier times, they were brought in or rather gifted only during certain celebrations.
However, today, dried fruits have become a staple in every home. With the rising awareness of the health benefits of dried fruits, every household now stocks dry fruits regularly, especially for children.
So, how to start a dried fruit business? Read on.
Until recently, dried fruits were just sold seasonally in special shops from select wholesalers and retailers. With the growing health awareness and its usage in baking, confectionery, and dairy products, dried fruits have become a staple food item in every household. With the internet and its widespread use, it has now become a practical business proposition.
Dried fruits are created with extreme drying methods to reduce the water content in fruits. Mango, pineapple, banana, walnuts, and almonds are some of the most popular dried fruits that can be stored without refrigeration.
They can be included in a variety of dishes and are recommended in daily diets.
Dried fruit snacks are produced by dehydrating the water content in the fresh fruit in such a manner that the natural color, taste & health properties of the fruit shall be retained, and the post-harvest life of the fruits shall be lengthened.
The product can be exported outside the country to generate forex.
